This photograph was taken in the early hours on the plains of Castelluccio, Italy, as soft fog drifted over the fields. The hay bales, scattered like punctuation marks in the stillness, evoke a sense of quiet balance and rhythm. The image explores the subtle dialogue between light and shadow, form and emptiness. It is a meditation on solitude, silence, and the poetry of the land when the world has not yet fully awakened.
